Saudi Arabia gives women the right to drive in new order

Ultra-conservative Saudi Arabia has some of the world's tightest restrictions on women, despite ambitious government reforms aimed at boosting female employment.

The secretary-general of the United Nations Antonio Guterres described it as "an important step in the right direction".

The kingdom's dress code requires women to wear an abaya (cloak) and veil, though the latter is selectively enforced.

The headline on the state-linked Arabic newspaper Okaz noted that "In the era of King Salman, women can drive".

But for now, Saudi women are finally in the driving seat.

For example, the police will have to be trained to interact with women in a way that they rarely do in Saudi Arabia, a society where men and women who are not related have little contact.

In a historic night after King Salman Bin Abdelaziz issued a decree to grant women driving licenses the economic effect on the Kingdom is forecasted to be positive.

Speaking on his LBC show, Maajid said: "There are problems with men and access rights in this country, there are problems in the divorce law, there are problems with the case of the student in Oxford who stabbed her boyfriend".
